After returning home from the hospital, Qinchuan laid on his bed and stared blankly at the broken ceiling above his head. The words that Zhou Meng had said to him today kept echoing in his mind.
These words had a great impact on Qinchuan's worldview, almost subverting his understanding of this world. He instinctively resisted this cruel reality, but people like Ma Zhen, Wang Wenxue, and Liu Cheng had taught him a very vivid lesson. When he saw Wang Bo lying on the hospital bed, unable to afford better treatment, Qinchuan deeply understood how cruel and ruthless this world was to the commoners!
With money and power, one could do whatever one wanted. If one rose up to resist, one would not receive the slightest bit of respect. Instead, one would receive even fiercer revenge!
Zhou Meng and his companions were working hard to change the environment of this world. This sounded very noble and admirable, but if one were to think about it seriously, one would realize that these people were too idealistic. The so-called world where everyone was equal was only a utopia that they had imagined. There was almost no hope for it to be realized.
As long as there were people, there would be conflicts, and there would be disputes.
The commoners didn't fight not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't have the ability to fight. Once they obtained the opportunity to rise above others, how many people in this world would be able to control their inner desires?
When that time came, it would be nothing more than the birth of a new batch of aristocratic families and sects to continue controlling the majority of the world's resources. Fundamentally speaking, it wouldn't have any effect on purifying the entire Federation's environment.
Thinking about it carefully, Qinchuan felt that Zhou Meng and the others should be able to understand this point. However, because their ideals had yet to be realized, and there was still a long way to go, they temporarily put aside this problem that would only appear in the future. They wanted to solve the problem in front of them first, which was to overturn the aristocratic families and sects!
"I'm really just an ordinary person."
Qinchuan murmured softly. Even though he had a fortuitous encounter and became a genius, Qinchuan still didn't feel that there was anything special about him. He had only turned from an unknown slum boy into an ordinary genius. There were countless geniuses like him in this world, and he didn't feel that he was different.
Qinchuan was somewhat conflicted about the things that Zhou Meng had mentioned. He didn't want to be involved in such a big matter. He only wanted to live a normal life. He wanted to enter the Six Great Academies and cultivate diligently. After graduation, he might join the military or do other things. Simple was enough. The rise of the aristocratic families and sects and commoners were too far away and too dreamy for him.
To live in the present, to live in reality!
This was the principle that Qinchuan understood after pondering for an entire night. He didn't care what his future would be like, nor did he care about how the world would develop and change in the future. He only needed to live a good life from now on and walk step by step according to his heart's wishes.
Although it was said that a person without foresight would have immediate worries, Qinchuan really didn't want to think about so many complicated things. He only wanted to be a simple youth.
After understanding all this, Qinchuan suddenly felt that his state of mind was much clearer. It was like the sky after the rain, exceptionally clean and bright.
…
The next morning, when Qinchuan arrived at school, he noticed that the surrounding students were looking at him strangely. There was reverence, envy, disdain, and ridicule.
Qinchuan knew in his heart that the change in the way these people looked at him must have something to do with what happened yesterday afternoon.
A trash from the Common Class dared to provoke a genius from the Elite Class. This was definitely big news. These people must have heard about it long ago.
"Brother, you're early today!"
Suddenly, Wang Bo appeared beside Qinchuan. He put his arm around Qinchuan's shoulder and laughed. "I heard about what happened yesterday. You actually threatened to break Wang Wenxue's leg. That's really cruel."
When they were eating skewers that day, Qinchuan had already told Wang Bo about Wang Wenxue's situation. Therefore, Wang Bo also knew that Wang Wenxue had become Liu Cheng's girlfriend. After hearing what Qinchuan said to Wang Wenxue, his heart could be said to be quite happy. His best friend really didn't disappoint him!
Looking at Wang Bo who was standing in front of him, Qinchuan was a little surprised. "How did you get discharged from the hospital?"
"Speaking of this matter, I also felt that it was inconceivable. Guess who I saw in the hospital last night?" Wang Bo said to Qinchuan in a very exaggerated tone. "Black Faced God Zhou Meng!
He actually went to the hospital to visit me on behalf of the school. Moreover, he used the school's name as an excuse to provide me with a high-grade treatment fluid. In just one night, my legs were cured. Do you know the feeling of soaking your whole body in the high-grade treatment fluid?
It's simply too good! "
Looking at the excited expression on Wang Bo's face, the corner of Qinchuan's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. The reason he became friends with Wang Bo was that Wang Bo had always been a very optimistic and positive person. No matter what difficulties he faced, Wang Bo would never be dejected. Even if his legs were broken and he had to endure inhumane pain, he could still be optimistic and face his life every day. This was Wang Bo, a commoner in the Common Class.
"In the end, I've implicated you. I'll treat you to skewers tonight." Qinchuan laughed. "At that time, I'll order four roasted pig trotters for you. It'll definitely nourish you well."
"Then it's settled!"
Wang Bo couldn't help but drool at the thought of being able to eat four roasted pig trotters tonight. For him, there was nothing that a barbecue meal couldn't solve. If there was, then two meals. It would be even better if someone else treated him!
After chatting with Wang Bo for a while, Qinchuan couldn't help but begin to think about a very important problem. That is, the final exam was coming soon. This time's final exam wasn't an ordinary final exam, but a qualification test!
It could be said that getting into the Six Great Academies was everyone's dream. If the conditions allowed, probably everyone would fill in the Six Great Academies' name on their college entrance exam application. But in reality, the Six Great Academies' enrollment requirements were very strict. Even the Starry Sky Academy, which was ranked last, only recruited a thousand students from the entire Federation every year. And the number of people who participated in the college entrance exam every year was more than ten million!
Therefore, the final exam of the third year of high school became a qualification test. Only those who obtained excellent results in this exam were qualified to apply to the Six Great Academies. The others could only apply to Common Universities!
